Unable to connect to RH8 MySQL box from Windows

I have MySQL installed on RH8, and am able to connect locally to the server, but cannot connect from my Windows box using MySQLCC, or MySQLGui. I get a &quot;Lost connection to MySQL server during query&quot; message on both clients. Port 3306 is open, I have an entry in the user table with the Host set to '%', but no joy.

If I attempt to Telnet to port 3306 from the Windows machine, I get &quot;Connection to host lost&quot; immediately, doing the same from the linux box gives me:
[pre]
[davidn@tron etc]$ telnet localhost 3306
Trying 127.0.0.1...
Connected to localhost.
Escape character is '^]'.
(
3.23.52H.O$bBbI,Connection closed by foreign host.
[davidn@tron etc]$
[/pre]
Anyone have any clues why I cannot connect remotely?
